HONORING OUR NURSES AND TEACHERS

Tips & Tricks

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p>With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it is time to start thinking about the decorations that will make the house look and feel amazing. Although the centerpiece on the table may seem like a small detail, it is the design element that all of your Thanksgiving guests will see when they come for dinner. Picking the right design is an important part of creating the atmosphere that you want when you are giving thanks for your blessings.</p>
<p><strong>Pumpkins and Flowers</strong></p>
<p>Although pumpkin pie is often associated with the holiday, the idea of using it for other purposes may slip your mind. A&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2447" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2447">ceramic pumpkin</a>&nbsp;makes an excellent vase for your holiday centerpiece. Enjoy a beautiful centerpiece that features a pumpkin, cattails and orange and yellow flowers that will brighten up your table and invite the entire family to enjoy an interesting design feature.</p>
<p><strong>Make it Traditional</strong></p>
<p>The cornucopia is a traditional part of <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/thanksgiving/">Thanksgiving</a>. Although it is traditional to fill the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2603" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2603">cornucopia</a>&nbsp;with autumn fruits, squash and other foods, make it interesting by adding beautiful seasonal flowers. Center it on the table and allow the flowers to spill over. It is a reminder to give thanks for the bounty of the season that is beautiful and fun for the entire family.</p>
<p><strong>Add a Little Glitter</strong></p>
<p>Place a simple vase with flowers in the center of the table and then surround it with small metallic candle holders. Place tealight candles and light them up before the guests arrive. The simple <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2890" target="_blank" rel="noopener">orange and yellow flowers</a> add color to the table while the metallic candle holders give it a touch of elegant glitter.</p>
<p><strong>Gather a Crowd</strong></p>
<p>An autumn centerpiece that is a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2872" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2872">bouquet of fall flowers</a>&nbsp;is a simple way to gather guests. The beautiful flowers invite guests to look at the centerpiece and a few candle give it a romantic glow throughout the Thanksgiving meal.</p>
<p>Thanksgiving is a time to appreciate the blessings that you have in your life. By making arrangements to decorate your home for the season, you can remember the bounty of the season and the love of family.</p>

<p>It's the time of year when we focus on spending time with our loved ones and practicing gratitude. If you've been invited to attend a holiday dinner at someone else's home, this November, don't forget to show your gratitude with a thoughtful gift for your host or hostess.&nbsp;At <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/los-angeles-fall-flowers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Florist</a></strong></span>, serving Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, our professional florists and gift designers have been busy compiling a list of creative hostess gift ideas for <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/thanksgiving/">Thanksgiving</a> and <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/friendsgiving-meaning" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Friendsgiving</a></strong></span>.</p>
<p><span id="more-1489"></span></p>
<h2><strong>Why It's Customary to Arrive with a Gift for Your Host</strong></h2>
<p>When you've been invited to someone's home for a sit-down dinner, it's customary to bring a gift for your host or hostess. This gift is a way of politely saying,&nbsp;'<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/thank-you/">thank you</a> for having me.' Choosing something thoughtful, beautiful, and/or useful is great. You should bring a hostess gift even if it's a potluck-style meal. Even though your host isn't doing all the cooking, it still takes a lot of work to organize the meal and prepare one's house for guests.</p>

Show them how thankful you are for their hard work and presence in your life with a thoughtful gift. Choose something you know they'll love or bring a gift that'll help everyone enjoy the day.</p>
<ol>
<li>Holiday cookie cutters</li>
<li>Fancy hand soap so everyone washes</li>
<li>Gourmet coffee to brew with dessert</li>
<li>Sparkling cider so everyone has a fancy drink to sip</li>
<li>Activities to keep the kids busy, like a craft project or game</li>
<li>A set of decorative dish towels</li>
<li>A nice bottle of wine</li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>When in Doubt, Remember Flowers Are Always Appropriate</strong></h2>
<p>If you're still not sure what type of gift would be most appropriate for your host or hostess, we recommend a beautiful floral arrangement because you can never go wrong with flowers! Be sure to bring an arrangement or centerpiece with flowers that have already been cut and arranged because your host will likely not have time to trim and arrange freshly cut flower stems.</p>
<p>For personalized recommendations and assistance selecting a floral gift&nbsp;for your Thanksgiving hostess, we welcome you to stop by one of our <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/branchLocations.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Florist</a></strong></span> showrooms.

No matter how you celebrate, it's the perfect occasion to spend time with family and friends and enjoy a great meal. However, did you ever think about some of the icons of the holiday and why they became associated with the event? Here are four items that are traditionally used as symbols of Thanksgiving'and a bit of background on why they are.</p>
<ul>
<li>Turkey ' The turkey is a species native to North America. While it is not known for certain whether Turkey was served on the first Thanksgiving, it was such a predominant bird that it was easy to access in the early days. While today's turkeys are bred for dining, early birds were smaller and gamier.</li>
<li>Cornucopia ' Also known as the horn of plenty, the cornucopia is a concept that goes back to the B.C. days. In fact, Greek mythology stated that Zeus accidentally removed a goat's horn and to make it up to the creature, he always made sure that the goat had what she needed. Today, these are often used for d'cor, but can be filled with food.</li>

THANKSGIVING CENTERPIECES FOR YOUR TABLE

Instead of a decorative turkey or pumpkin, consider adding a cornucopia of fresh flowers. The Horn of Plenty has a rich harvest tradition and has been the table decor of fall for centuries, and French Florist has a number of these arrangements for your consideration.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Legend Behind the Horn</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The cornucopia is more than just a Thanksgiving decoration. It is a symbol steeped in legend. In ancient Greece, a myth about Hercules tells the story of a fierce battle between Hercules and Achelous, the god of the river, who were fighting for the heart of Dianira, a beautiful princess. In the fight, Achelous turned into a bull, and Hercules broke off his horn, which turned into a cornucopia.</p>
<div id="attachment_504" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px;"><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2603"><img class="size-full wp-image-504" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/11/zoom_FW113308093085654.gif" alt="cornucopia" width="450" height="500" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-504" /></a>
<p id="caption-attachment-504" class="wp-caption-text">A Cornucopia for Thanksgiving</p>
</div>
<p>Achelous admitted defeat, and Hercules presented the horn to the beautiful Dianira. According to the legend, the enchanted horn would always be filled with whatever the owner wished for. The symbol of the horn filled with produce indicated abundance, and flowers would be added to the look for beauty.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Cornucopia Today</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today, the cornucopia is just as often seen with flowers as fruit, yet is still the symbol of beauty and autumn splendor. In addition to beautiful fall-colored blooms, these centerpieces may also include fall leaves, decorative berries and ample greenery. For instance, <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2603">A Cornucopia for Thanksgiving</a> features pears, coffee beans and autumn oak leaves alongside red and orange orchids and roses.</p>
<div id="attachment_505" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 594px;"><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2902"><img class="size-large wp-image-505" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/11/zoom_F113AutumnAbundance11090795111121016111752-876x1024.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/11/zoom_F113AutumnAbundance11090795111121016111752-876x1024.jpg 876w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/11/zoom_F113AutumnAbundance11090795111121016111752-257x300.jpg 257w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/11/zoom_F113AutumnAbundance11090795111121016111752.jpg 950w" alt="cornucopia" width="584" height="683" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-505" /></a>
<p id="caption-attachment-505" class="wp-caption-text">Autumn Cornucopia</p>
</div>
<p>Sunflowers also often make a debut in a modern cornucopia, and cinnamon sticks add more fall color with a festive aroma.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2902">Autumn Cornucopia</a> combines both of these with roses and other fall colored blooms for a festive display.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If it is your turn to host Thanksgiving dinner, or you simply want to make your home more festive this holiday season, you can trust French Florist to help. Make the decision easy with the purchase of a cornucopia from <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>.

<p>Is there a more beautiful holiday than Thanksgiving?</p>
<p>We at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> don't mean the glorious feast, polished silver and antique china, or the heirloom linens and taper candles casting a warm glow. We mean the faces gathered around the table, and the sense of warmth and abundance created in our homes as we gather for one day together to count our blessings. Everything else is just a cherry on top. We think such an occasion deserves a floral centerpiece that speaks right to the spirit of Thanksgiving. And thankfully, weve got those centerpieces.</p>
<p><span id="more-1111"></span></p>
<p>As youre prepping and organizing for the big day, spend some time considering the flowers you want at the heart of the table. Look for something that reflects the prosperity and richness of the season, and in particular this day. There's no better way to do that than to choose a centerpiece that's lavish with the blooms and hues of Fall. We love our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/thanksgiving/thanksgiving-luxe-los-angeles/">Thanksgiving Luxe</a> for just this reason.</p>
<p>The volume of flowers here speaks, well, volumes to the spirit of Thanksgiving. Generously textured and scented, this arrangement is gorgeous to look at and a bit of a conversation piece, as all good centerpieces are. Place it in the spotlight on your table and everything around it is immediately elevated.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/thanksgiving/thanksgiving-luxe-los-angeles/"><img src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/thanksgiving-floral-designs-los-angeles-151121121013.jpg?w=950&amp;auto=format" alt="Thanksgiving Luxe Centerpiece" /></a></p>
<p>If youd prefer to spread the beauty around, consider doing a trio of bouquets down the center of your table, or, if you have several tables, place one at each to create unity in the room. We like our&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=3150">Roses, Lilies, Tulips, Galore!</a> design for that. It's just as luxe and Fall-feeling as its more sizable contemporaries, but gives off a feeling of lightness.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=3150"><img src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/5453851975264768ed52o-16102834032.jpg?w=950&amp;auto=format" /></a></p>
<p>There are so many <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/thanksgiving/">drop-dead gorgeous centerpieces</a> to choose from this Thanksgiving, and at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>, were sure to have the right one for you.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/sweetest-day/">Sweetest Day</a> is an American original ' established in the early 1900's as a simple reminder that a thoughtful word or act of kindness can greatly influence someone's life. The day began when candy company executives&nbsp;distributed candy and small gifts to orphans, people confined to their homes and others to show them that someone cared about them. Down through the decades, the day has become a special opportunity to show love and support to those we care about. French Florist has the floral designs and gifts you'll need to do just that.&nbsp;<span id="more-1088"></span><br /><strong><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/florists/beverly-hills-pink-petals/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1090" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/10/zoom_BC81508021993632080815103313.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/10/zoom_BC81508021993632080815103313.jpg 450w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/10/zoom_BC81508021993632080815103313-270x300.jpg 270w" alt="sweetest day" width="450" height="500" loading="lazy" /></a><br />Did You Know?</strong>&nbsp;Sweetest Day was not originally a day set up for romance and sweethearts, however it is estimated that about 80% of those who celebrate this day now view it that way. Therefore it is often considered a 'second Valentine's Day'.</p>
<p><strong>Deliver Happiness</strong>: Studies have shown that flowers make us happy, elevate our moods, and enhance our feelings of well-being. As such, flowers are the perfect gift for Sweetest Day. Gerbera <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/daisies/">daisies</a>, <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a>, mums, and lilies are all flowers which make lovely bouquets sure to cheer people up.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><strong><br />Star-Studded History: I</strong>n the early 1930s, several movie stars gave credence to the holiday. Ann Pennington donated candy to 2,200 Cleveland newspaper boys, and Theda Bara gave candy to patients in Cleveland hospitals.</span></p>
<p><strong><br />Local Celebrations:&nbsp;</strong>Observance of Sweetest Day is still most prevalent in the region where the holiday originated, including Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

Prayers are read from a special prayer book called the machzor. Rosh Hashanah comprises the first two days of a ten day period which culminates on Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. With penitent prayers, the Jewish people are looking to a new&nbsp;beginning for the new year.</p>
<p>Rosh Hashanah is also marked by traditional celebratory meals. A perfect way to send your good wishes is with a floral centerpiece ' white flowers represents a new beginning, and blue signify divinity ' therefore these <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a>, orchids, lilies and delphinium send a fitting sentiment.</p>
<p>The meal generally consists of a few traditional items. Challah bread is baked in two loaves, to represent the two<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/golden-harvest-centerpiece-los-angeles-ca/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-825" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/09/zoom_golden-harvest-centerpiece-los-angeles-ca-15120430207-250x300.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/09/zoom_golden-harvest-centerpiece-los-angeles-ca-15120430207-250x300.jpg 250w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/09/zoom_golden-harvest-centerpiece-los-angeles-ca-15120430207-768x922.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/09/zoom_golden-harvest-centerpiece-los-angeles-ca-15120430207-853x1024.jpg 853w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/09/zoom_golden-harvest-centerpiece-los-angeles-ca-15120430207.jpg 950w" alt="Rosh Hashanah customs" width="250" height="300" loading="lazy" /></a> portions of manna given to the Israelites in the desert on the day before Sabbath. Pomegranates are a fall harvest item&nbsp;and are eaten to symbolize 'new fruit', or fruit that has not been eaten before. They are also full of seeds, representing all the 'ripe opportunity' &nbsp;of the new year. Apple&nbsp;slices dipped in honey are meant to invoke a sense of 'sweet hope' for the new year. These and other Rosh Hashanah customs incorporate deep symbolic meaning into a festive meal with friends and family, and they are also the inspiration for celebratory arrangements that will adorn the Rosh Hashanah table.</p>

Today, while still largely a religious holiday, Easter has also developed into a time to spend with family and enjoy the beauty of spring and the new life it represents. Whether you are celebrating Easter as a religious holiday or simply enjoying the celebration of spring, you will find it is an excellent time to give the gift of flowers. Here are some popular choices to consider.</p>
<p><strong>The Easter Lily</strong></p>
<p>The Easter lily, as its name implies, is deeply rooted to the traditions of Easter. The trumpet shape of the bloom symbolizes the trumpets that will sound when Christ returns, while the white of the flower symbolizes the purity and goodness found in Christ. For religious individuals, no gift is better suited than the Easter Lily.</p>
<p><strong>Spring Bulbs and Blossoms</strong></p>
<p>Easter is also the celebration of spring and the new life that it brings. In many parts of the country, Easter is also the time when <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/tulips/">tulips</a> and daffodils are blooming in full force. These blooms make beautiful additions to a cut flowers display, and your Easter flowers can include them. The simplicity and beautiful colors of <a title="Spring Tulips" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/easter/assorted-colored-tuliips/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spring Tulips</a> is an example of this type of arrangement. The arrangement lets the beauty of the spring blooms speak for itself.</p>

<p><strong>Embracing the Easter Basket</strong></p>
<p>Another option to consider when buying gifts for Easter is skipping flowers altogether and giving an Easter gift instead. The <a title="Easter Bunny Basket" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=517" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Easter Bunny Basket</a> takes on the look of a beautiful flower arrangement but is made with an assortment of Easter candy and a stuffed animal.

THE BEST EASTER FLOWERS

Passover

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p>For those celebrating <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/passover/">Passover</a>, it is a time of excitement and joy. The Jewish people remember the trials and victories of their ancestors when they were slaves in ancient Egypt. Passover remembers how the people were able to obtain their freedom through trust in the Lord. Flowers are the perfect way to express this joy, which is why they have become such an important part of traditional Passover celebrations. Although many celebrating this holiday may have been accustomed to seeing flowers everywhere while enjoying the traditional seder dinner, learning a bit more about the history of the use of flowers and how to present them can help make the traditions even more meaningful.</p>
<p><strong>The traditions and history of Passover and flowers</strong></p>
<p>After a long hard winter, the blooming flowers signal to people that the times of hardships are ending and the world is becoming new once again. It is this perception of renewal that the Jewish people are hoping to capture with their flowers during Passover. Flowers are typically used to decorate the home to help spread the joy of the holiday.</p>
<p>In addition to seeing flowers around the home, they are also common adornments in gift baskets. It is believed that this tradition arose from old matchmaking ways. In the past, the single men in an area would venture out to the streets with a flower in hand, while the single ladies would dress themselves up. The men would approach the ladies and offer their flower. If it was accepted, it meant the woman was willing to court the young man. The young man, now with permission to venture to the young lady's home and speak with her parents, would send ahead of himself a basket of lettuce and flowers.</p>
<p><strong>Traditional types and arrangements of flowers</strong></p>
<p>When the time comes to decorate the home for Passover, spring flowers tend to be the most popular and most traditional. Lilies, carnations, <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/tulips/">tulips</a>, cherry blossoms, and pussy willows are just a few of the popular options for decorations. Selecting lightly colored options, such as pinks and whites, can help the home feel tranquil and peaceful, while oranges and yellows can help add warmth. Flowers, such as lilies can be used to adorn entrances, while others can be used to decorate buffet tables or to make take home bouquets for guests. Remember that gift baskets should also be gracefully adorned with flowers. Bright and colorful flowers are excellent additions.</p>
<p>Flowers are an important part of Passover celebrations. They capture the spirit and joy of the Jewish people as they recall the stories and history of their ancestors. Incorporating flowers, such as those from&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">French Florist</span></a>, are the perfect way to prepare for the holiday.</p>
